In 2022, at the 64th Grammy Awards, one of the most attention-grabbing interactions belonged to V and Olivia Rodrigo. Before starting the performance of the song "Butter", V leaned close to Olivia's ear and whispered something that surprised and made her laugh.
The image of V whispering to Olivia Rodrigo caused a storm on social networks and across platforms. Since then, Olivia Rodrigo has often been likened to a special beauty of V (BTS).
Currently, Olivia Rodrigo has just released her 3rd studio album "You seem pretty sad for a girl so in love". Recently, Olivia Rodrigo suddenly revealed a secret, she has had to live with a significant hearing loss since she was young.
In an interview promoting the new album on the radio program "Kiss FM UK's", when asked about the inspiration behind the song "What's wrong with me", the 23-year-old star frankly confided about her physical defects.
Actually, there are quite a few things wrong with me. I am about 60% deaf in my left ear. So if someone deliberately whispers a secret to this side, I will definitely not be able to hear anything.
She also joked with fans: "If you want to badmouth or tell me secrets, it's best to talk to your right ear".
Although this information brought great surprise to the fan community, for Olivia Rodrigo, partial hearing loss has been familiar in her daily life since childhood.
Previously, in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the female artist confided that she discovered this situation completely by chance.
I never knew my ears were wrong until kindergarten, when the school conducted periodic hearing tests for all students. At that time, medical staff called me back and said:'Your ears are a bit heavy, okay?'. At that time, I was too young to understand clearly," Olivia Rodrigo recalled.
Instead of being self-conscious or considering this a barrier to her career, Olivia Rodrigo chooses to face it with optimism. She revealed that she and her close friend - famous photographer Petra Collins - often take out her body's "disabilities" to tease and see them as a special bond.
The female singer confided: "A close friend of mine is talented photographer Petra Collins, she has very poor eyesight. So, we always tease each other that I pursue the path of music because I have poor hearing, and she chooses to stick with cameras because she has poor eyesight. It's like us borrowing art to compensate for sensory gaps.
Olivia Rodrigo's openness not only received sympathy but also strongly inspired the fan community, affirming that flaws do not prevent a talented artist from conquering the peaks of art.
Currently, Olivia Rodrigo's new album "You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love" is the focus of attention of international critics and media. This music project is likened to a mature diary full of angles, leading listeners through each level of emotion.
Olivia Rodrigo was born in 2003, born and raised in California, USA. Starting her career at Disney Studios, she is known for the films "Bizaardvark" and "High School Musical: The Musical: The Series".
Her name was widely known globally when she released her debut album "Sour" - the best-selling album of 2021.
